You can try using Pane, possibly with different settings for
ImageSizeAction:
nvalues = Flatten[Table[{2, 3, 5, 7, 10} 10^i, {i, 0, 4}]];
Manipulate[
Pane[Text@ StringForm[
"The value of the parameter n used in this case is: ``", n],
{xsz, 60}],
Style@ Pane[Row@
{"n: ",
SetterBar[Dynamic[n], nvalues, Appearance -> "Row"]},
{xsz, ysz}],
{{xsz, 250}, 100, 700, 1}, {{ysz, 100}, 20, 200, 1}, {{n, 2}, None}]
